After a year and a half of sharing the Red and White path together, today it's time to say goodbye to Fernando Hierro, but not before acknowledging his work in the Sports Direction of El Rebaño Sagrado, because during his tenure the team found regularity and sporting stability.
How did Chivas fare under Fernando Hierro's guidance?
- Chivas qualified directly to the Liguilla in the 3 tournaments under his command (Final, CF and SF).
- El Rebaño equaled its best points record in short tournaments in CL23.
- The team from Guadalajara was one of the four teams with the highest total points score in the Apertura 2024-Clausura 2024 cycle, which ensured its participation in the CONCACAF Champions Cup 2025.
- La Cantera Rojiblanca project was strengthened, as in this year and a half the Under 18, Under 23 and Tapatío categories were champions.
- The First Team squad was strengthened with intelligent adjustments and signings, such as the incorporation of Javier Hernández, Víctor Guzmán, Erick Gutiérrez, Oscar Whalley, Cade Cowell and José Castillo.
On every decision, Fernando showed total commitment to our vision of inspiring Mexico every day and above all, to the mission of constantly projecting the work done in La Cantera Rojiblanca to round out the integral formation of our youngest players, as players such as Raúl Rangel, Leo Sepúlveda, Mateo Chávez, Yael Padilla, Jesús Brígido, Raúl Martínez and Armando González, to mention the most advanced, were given projection to the First Team.
The legacy of #ChivasDeHierro goes beyond the results on the field, as it left an indelible mark by promoting a culture of hard work, respect and excellence, which sought to balance the training of our own talent with the incorporation of more experienced players, which added to the wise choices of Veljko Paunovic and now Fernando Gago, were key to the sporting consistency achieved.
Dear Fernando, we wish you every success in your future endeavors. We are sure that you will be a true ambassador in the world of Club Deportivo Guadalajara. Thank you for your dedication and professionalism, and for joining the ChivaHermanos Nation.
